Presented by Dr. Julie Keane (supported by Leigh Gillis) This practitioner-led design inquiry session will guide attendees through a structured design-based exploration of two central questions: "How could contribution in your world become visible?" and "What might become possible if this were to occur?" Facilitators will engage participants in identifying invisible forms of contribution within their institutions and communities, introducing recognition as infrastructure rather than reward, and mapping system breakdowns in small groups. Participants will surface specific equity gaps, missing data, and barriers to mobility before prototyping "visible contribution pathways" tailored to their environments—such as programs, badges, platforms, or employer partnerships—with optional prompts from PathLedger™ to imagine how contributions could be classified and connected without requiring technical expertise. Presenters will provide an overview of CAWBL's structure and grassroots engagement tools, followed by group sharing of one transformative shift that visibility could enable (e.g., better advising, stronger employer matches, more equitable access). The session will close with collective reflection on infrastructure's role in converting lived experience into mobility and emerging U.S.–Canada collaboration opportunities, with attendees receiving the same resource card distributed at the Table Talk session.
